Online Aptitude Test Chemical Engineering For Hiring & Recruitment - Mercer

Inside This Assessment

Chemical engineers operate in various industries like Oil and Gas, Manufacturing, Paper and Pulp, Food and Drink, Energy, Water etc. Their responsibilities fall under designing, developing, constructing and operating industrial processes for a diverse range of products, as well as in commodity and specialty chemicals. Such work requires one to be good at analyzing data and numerical calculations, providing systematic solutions to a given problem and communicating with stakeholders effectively.

Mercer|Mettl's aptitude and technical test for chemical engineering is a comprehensive functional and aptitude test specially designed to assess a candidate's skills to perform duties effectively and efficiently. This pre-employment test measures the technical knowledge of a candidate on the following aspects through a set of specific role-based application questions:

Ability to design plant and equipment configuration so that they can be readily adapted to suit the product range and the process technologies involved, taking environmental and economic aspects into account
Ability to set up scale-up and scale-down processes, including appropriate changes to equipment design and configuration
Ability to design, install and commission new production plants, including monitoring developments and troubleshooting
Ability to ensure that potential safety issues related to the project operator, the environment, the process and the product are considered at all stages

Along with the technical knowledge (basic concepts in chemical engineering), it measures the ability to communicate effectively in the English language clearly and precisely, analyze information in a structured and logical manner to solve problems. It measures the numerical and data interpretation ability that an engineer – in accordance with the highest industry standards – would be expected to possess. Mercer|Mettl benchmarks these tests for specific job roles with a vast array of clients in these sectors.
